Does this rack need an Anti Rocking 2" Hitch Wobble Stabilizer?

It has one that comes with it. Instead of hitch pin, it has a bolt that you tighten

Mine came with a pin that threads in a block that goes in the hitch receiver. It did not move around at all. Works great for a dirt bike.

I didn't find it necessary. Basically on my pickup I just bungy it to my truck. No problem.

I use 2 stabilizers. One goes under the rear bumper, and the other goes under the frame before I extend the slide. Our trailer is a Rockwood, which I believe has a very springy suspension, and these stabilizers seem to help a great deal. I still use the corner stab jacks, but I think I would be just as stable without them.

It would most likely fit in the hole, but might not thread into anything to prevent wobbling. The Swagman hitch has threads on the driver's side of the receiver insert that this pin threads into which prevents the rack from wobbling. The Yakima might or might not have the same thread, or any thread at all.

On my Jeep Wrangler it was not intuitive and I had to in stall it twice. Install it so the rack will ride vertically, even though th e plate position looks wrong when you do it.

Yes. It's comes with a converter to a 2" hitch, but the rack itself is built for 1 1/4".

You need a standard fifth wheel stabilizer, this is for fifth wheel with gooseneck adapters. My fifth wheel hitch is at 50" and with my adapter I'm at 37". Hope this helps

The rack shank will slide into the hitch receiver and lock in place with a pin. If it doesn't assemble, verify you actually have a 2" receiver, not a 1.25" which is more common on light duty SUVs.

It might. I replaced a Thule two bike hitch rack with the swagman rack. Visually this piece which I bought looks very much like a similar threaded locking pin I got from Thule. Since Thule makes locking pins best bet might be to buy one of those.

You need to go to their website and verify before you buy, there may be a link to it on Amazon where the rack is described

I have used this with a Class II 2" hitch with a adapter, no problems with wobbling, I have taken 12 hr trips loaded down with luggage golf clubs an coolers. no problems.

Extending the shank might adversly effect the weight distribution and sway control of the hitch. I would recommend contacting the engineers at Andersen. You are changing factory specs, so better check first

I do have a little wobble of my yakima rack, maybe 1/2 to 3/4 inch (?) at the most. I do not find it an issue for me. I have had 2 bikes on the rack for a trip of 8 hours straight one way and did not have any issue with the rack feeling like it was bouncing back and forth. The pin has stayed in place and I have not felt as though I have needed to re-tighten the bolt. The moveable wheel base on the rack, I do retighten from time to time. I got a yakima hitchlock to use on the bolt (although you do have to play with it a little to get it to lock). I feel better about leaving the rack on the car unattended and not getting stolen, but I also feel like it is one added safety feature to keep the bolt from coming off. And an FYI, I have had problem with getting the arm to 'lock' good when it is on my bike and have had it release as soon as I am taking off in the driveway. I have been able to avoid that issue with using a bike lock around my mid bike to the rack that holds the arms that slide up and down. With using that, I have had no other issue and have never had a bike come loose while on the road. If you have more play than what I described, I can only suggest going to a local bike shop to see if they can help you troubleshoot the issue. I hope this helps.

It doesn't wobble in the hitch, but there is some discernible play at the hing. Not anything that would prevent me from recommending this rack, but worth noting.

Once you tighten the lock knob it prevents any wobble. The key is to push up on the rack while tightening to make sure there is no play. I use this on a Nissan Armada.

yes. but the rack is heavy. I should have bought an aluminum one instead. This one will last good long time. No thief key for the hitch mount. It's just a screw in bolt.

No, this is only compatible with a 2" hitch receiver. Adapters are available, but keep in mind, you would be supporting the beefy 2" by a 1.25" piece and would cause the rack to be cantilevered out even further (a lot of stress on the adapter).

Yes, the bolt will tighten it firmly. I have to wiggle the rack around to get the bolt tightened all the way. Then the rack is solid and not wiggling at all.
